This is the world we live in now. EVERYONE should read this:

"The risk-reward math is different now. And at the margins, that means stories that should get told won’t get told. Not because anyone explicitly killed them, but because they never got started in the first place."

Sorry, but You Had to Be an Idiot to Believe Trump Could Lower Prices
The president’s disastrous affordability rally merely reraises the question: How could anyone have fallen for his campaign promises in the first place?

Where is the outrage? Where is the pushback? Trump tore down a wing of the #WhiteHouse and 🦗. If Obama or Biden had done this, #GOP brains would melt. This is grotesque. #ballroom #whitehouse #whitehouseballroom

The hypocrisy is astounding. If someone said any of that about Charlie Kirk, the right would have had them fired.

No words. 🤦🏻‍♂️

A reporter asked Trump this week during a roundtable session at the White House whether he would try to suspend habeas corpus. “Suspend who?” the president replied, then referred the matter to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

This has to be the one of the best lines written about #Trump. Ever. 🤣
“As Trump grows older and increasingly more mentally incontinent, he sits in a stew of his own political flatulence while he mumbles incoherent random phrases…”

Why is this bigot being given #presidentialmedaloffreedom? Why is the right making him a martyr? He preached #hate, #racism, #intolerance. Murder is never ok&his killer must be punished. What would the GOP reaction be if this happened to a liberal activist? 🤔

Of course this gerrymandering plan is about keeping power. But it’s about keeping power to a specific end: to pass laws people hate and block ones they want.

Senate GOP’s Remedy for Anti-Trump Lawsuits? Make Them Impossible.
There’s a provision in the Senate’s “big, beautiful bill” that would make plaintiffs against the federal government post huge bonds to file lawsuits. And they’re proud of this crap.
